Well folks, I’m taking my leave of you. I’ve been recruited to write for another blog and I agreed to do it. I may occasionally contribute to our beloved Gawrker (neé Sidespin) but my focus will be elsewhere. So I’d like to say thanks for reading and I hope people keep writing and contributing to Gawrker.

We’ve all had that awful experience of greeting coworkers and colleagues in the hallway. I hate small talk. I, for the most part, genuinely dislike the majority of people in the world. However common courtesy dictates that we must at least acknowledge people as we pass them. So other than “hello,” “good morning,” or…

And so before all the hubbub dies down and people go back to forgetting that tennis exists for a few months, it’s probably a good time to remember some guys and gals of the tennis world. Go take a tennis quiz on Sporcle after this. This is not an ad for Sporcle. (Unless Sporcle…

For the better part of the past two years, I have asked (on Twitter) various celebrities if they like Pink Floyd. There’s neither rhyme nor reason as to why I asked these people. There is no specific order to them either. It’s a credit to my ADHD as much as it is just seeing their names on my Twitter feed. The…

I am the assistant manager of my league of douches who plan to drink, draft, and lose some money playing poker until the sun rises. But, these douches are people, too. We have to think of them as more than just chumps (not really, but it sounds better than what I really want to say). With that in mind, let’s see what…

We can not independently verify these claims, but many people are saying it. We can only hope and pray that these claims are not true, and that intrepid reporters at other outlets can confirm that indeed, *somebody* has not committed…

Back in May of 2018, the Cincinnati Reds were in the midst of a rebuild that seemed to have hit a brick wall. Sporting the worst record in Major League Baseball, and having traded away every veteran player of value who wasn’t under a massive contract, it looked like the Reds would be waiting several more seasons to…

Well, give up on reading their stuff around here again! Univision means business. So, in light of how shitty things will become around here, I would like to offer my consulting to the Univision masters to improve their experience.

America is a fucked up, frightening place these days. It’s as if each new day brings a worse atrocity, as if the administration just wants to keep one-upping itself. I need something to make me smile. We all need something to make us smile. Here are some songs to make you smile. Please know that this can’t possibly…

There have been some teacher strikes in the news of late. I don’t think people realize just why teachers are striking, regardless if it’s legal or illegal in their states. What the uninitiated don’t realize is that striking is the absolute last resort for teachers. There is not one teacher who wants to deprive any…

For the uninitiated, or for the willfully ignorant, Cypress Hill’s Black Sunday is a paean to smoking weed. This album is so much more than that. Released in 1993, the band’s sophomore effort is a lodestone which stands alongside NWA’s Straight Outta Compton as an inner city voice that the majority of America hadn’t…
